Spot–spot RONIN arbitrage (buy on Binance, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows +0.78% gross right now. It only works if withdrawals on the buying exchange and deposits on the selling exchange are open, so check the D/W dots before moving coins.
Small RONIN gaps usually disappear after fees, slippage and funding. Look at the Net column, the executable Depth and the spread history before trading: a gap that has been open for days is a different trade from a one-minute spike.
